My pH meter is not working - readings are all over the place. I tried cleaning and calibrating, but no luck - I probably have to replace the probe. So I just did 3 parts peat moss to one part perlite and tossed in a couple of tbsp of dolomite lime and crossed my fingers.

Hey Doc of course I have another Question, I have those power skunks and 5 female Arjans ultra haze 2 and the skunks are twice the size of the haze 2 so my question is should I go and prune or fim them at all ( Im speaking for all my plants ) Now keep in mind my grow area is 10 x 11 x 7'7" and Im definately trying to maximize my yield but I cant figure out whether or not to prune and fim or just let them bud up the middle???????? Please help doc.

OK---So we're at day 3----Please make sure to lift the hood off the domes and spray with water----you can give a little spray on the soil as well but don't go crazy.---If you are covering the cups with plastic there is no need to spray. Some of you might have seedlings starting to poke through the soil---I've had certain strains pop after 24 hours in the soil after the soak---take a close look and keep an eye out--especially if you have your trays on heat mats. It won't be long now!!!

For comparison----WBINWV is using the paper-towel method and started germinating his seeds 24 hours before our start time.

LOL---just wanted to point out you were using you're own method for germ.

cool---some come Earlie---some a little latter. I have had some pop after 24 hours in soil and others 5 days(mostly do to cold)----Most will have popped after 48 to 72 hours---If you room temp is at 76 or lower it may take a little longer---heat mats set to 83 work wonders here.

Heat mat activated!
Before I used the paper towel method, and they popped overnight. I probably have some taproots already, they just haven't pushed through to the surface yet.
What you say about the micro root hairs makes sense. I have 5 seeds that I sprouted the day before this class started using paper towels to jiffy plugs - it will be interesting to compare the two methods.

kept the seeds in the cup of water for an extra day and they sprouted roots allready 1 seed about 1/4 of an inch an another just barely starting to poke out the shell. ill give em to morning then stick em in a medium. sorry i didnt follow ur instructions all the way but hey it worked and it seems it worked faster than planting them in soil in little red cups
